Elder Zhang’s residence was some distance away from the pill room where Zhang Xiaohua stayed. However, both were located on the left side of the Inner Valley. In front stood a modest bamboo hut, and behind it was the pill refining chamber. Looking at the tightly shut door to his own room, Elder Zhang chuckled and said: “I haven’t returned to this house in several months.” Then, glancing around, he asked: “What about your senior brothers? Are they all home?” Valley Master Nie gave a…-

It turned out that although the old man had been sternly questioning him for quite some time, he never actually tried to seize him. Instead, he kept asking for explanations—these were all stalling tactics, just buying time for Valley Master Nie and the others to arrive and confront or surround him. Zhang Xiaohua had still somewhat underestimated the intelligence of these seasoned martial artists. Sure enough, after a while, the old man suddenly slapped Da Bai on the head. With a low howl from the…

“Sigh…” Zhang Xiaohua let out an involuntary sigh. For some reason, his heart softened, and his strength ebbed away. With a shake of his arm, he flung the white wolf far off once more. “This time, even if that white wolf is foolish, it surely won’t come back again,” Zhang Xiaohua thought to himself. Alas, reality often speaks louder than reason. The white wolf once again did something that left Zhang Xiaohua utterly dumbfounded. The white wolf raised its head and let out a long howl,…

As the setting sun dipped below the horizon, lamps were lit in the kitchen. Chopsticks darted swiftly toward the dishes. The Daoist stacked a few slices of fatty meat and greens, holding his bowl as he shoveled food into his mouth, his gaze flicking back and forth between Lu Xiaoxian and Lu Laoshi. Beside him, Li Jinhua tapped him with the end of her chopsticks. “What is this, a battlefield? No one’s fighting you for it!” Then she turned, shifting her bowl slightly toward her son, and lowered…

Morning light poured over the eastern hills, wrapping the mountain village and fields in a wash of gold. Dew dripped from the tips of the morning glories climbing the fence, swaying gently in the breeze. Li Jinhua, up early as always, bustled about noisily, urging her husband to get out of bed. With a small floral silk jacket in hand, she shooed the toad away into the vegetable patch, then returned to the kitchen to cook with Honglian, who wore a plain skirt and a wooden hairpin, tending the fire and…

Just as Qi Wuhuo had foreseen, demonic creatures began appearing and attacking villages all across Zhongzhou. It was a repeat of the calamity that once befell Jinzhou—yet this time, their targets were not limited to the local Earth Deities, nor merely the prefectural city of the Zhongzhou. When the young Daoist arrived at one such place, he found the same tragedy repeating itself as with the mountain fiend earlier. The village lay in chaos; countless had perished. His sword swept through in arcs of…-

The upheaval within the Zhongzhou Prefecture City, more than two hundred li away, was something Qi Wuhuo could not possibly know of in detail. All he perceived was that the Human Qi within that city suddenly collapsed; then endless demonic miasma and foul vapors surged forth, while in the art of gazing at qi, he saw blood-colored air filling the heavens—clear proof of even fiercer slaughter breaking out. Qi Wuhuo instantly realized that something had gone wrong in the Zhongzhou Prefecture City. He…

Zhang Xiaohua then looked into the distance, his gaze sweeping over the areas in Spring Rebirth Valley where precious medicinal herbs were grown. He visited each of them one by one, openly and unhurriedly picking a portion at every stop and storing them away. Although these herbs weren’t specifically mentioned in the jade slip, they were all listed in books as the principal ingredients of certain medicinal pills—if not now, then when would he harvest them? Well, it’d be a waste not to pick…

Seeing his daughter so surprised, even trying to stop him, Valley Master Nie nodded inwardly: “This girl hasn’t let her head get clouded by excitement.” Nie Qianyu spoke again: “Father, are you really sure about this? Some of those pill recipes are the treasured secrets of our Spring Rebirth Valley, the painstaking work of generations of our ancestors. Besides, the pills made from these recipes are highly coveted in the martial world. If Brother Ren were to accidentally leak them, it could bring…

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said: “Little Fish Nie, it’s still early. I’d like to carefully reflect on the alchemy techniques we just practiced, and think through my insights on refining the Hundred Dispersal Pill, New Snow Pill, and others. When I have more time later, how about I accompany you to gather herbs then?” Nie Qianyu forced a smile and replied: “It’s fine, Brother Ren. You go ahead and cultivate first. I’ll head back to prepare some things. Tomorrow, I’ll bring…
